I have been working a sidewalk lately and have been skunked pretty hard. I am finding a lot of pull tabs which tells me, this is not the 1st time the sidewalk has been torn up. 
I had a $1.00/ $.50 signal that I was sure was going to be more iron. I dug and dug and dug until I had to toss my shovel aside (gravel top/ a digger will not do) and lay down with my hand digger. I am 12" in and know its some sort of large iron piece now. I figured I went this far, I was going to see what it was. I started pulling dirt out with my hand when I seen a white pipe laying on its side. My exact words, " Holy Sh*t!" I was a lil bummed to see the front missing but was very pleased to see it 90% in tact! This is a very cool piece that is setting in my curio cabinet now. I am not sure if this would be considered a banner find, but it deffinately is a rare piece in my collection. Thanks for looking...... Lol
Oh yeah, The signal turned out to be an old stove top circle that was another 2 inches or so below the pipe! What are the chances?
